LEV Testing · Berkshire
LEV testing across Berkshire - the royal town, the Thames towns and the technology and trading estates. COSHH thorough examination and test of the fume and dust extraction in your workshops - measured, reported and certified.
Berkshire runs from the county town of Reading along the Thames through Maidenhead and the royal town of Windsor to Slough and its great trading estate, out to Bracknell and Thatcham on the western edge. It is a technology and Thames-side county of commuter kitchens, riverside dining and one of Britain's densest business-park economies.
Every workshop across Berkshire that welds, machines, sprays, mills or bakes raises fume, mist or dust the law says must be controlled. We examine and test local exhaust ventilation across Berkshire to HSG258 - measured capture, a clear verdict and a reliable next-due date, from Ascot to Woodley.
The point of a thorough examination and test is to prove the extraction still controls the exposure - so we measure it, we do not eyeball it. Condition, capture and face velocities, transport velocity and static pressure are checked against the design intent under HSG258, and the result is written up and labelled on the plant.
From a Slough trading-estate factory to a Windsor electronics line, the job ends in a report and a label - what was measured, what passed, and the date the next test falls due.
The hoods and capture points are where the system either catches the fume, mist or dust or lets it escape. We measure capture and face velocities where the contaminant is released.
We check the ducting for transport velocity and leaks and assess the filter or air cleaner - the parts that quietly degrade and drop a system below its design performance.
We test the fan performance and the discharge, and measure the static pressure across the system - the readings that reveal a system pulling below its design figure.
Berkshire raises fume and dust across a technology and manufacturing economy, and each site owes the same duty to control it and prove it. Slough runs the factories of its trading estate, Maidenhead chemical-processing and technology works, and Windsor electronics assembly lines, while Thatcham makes paper. Reading runs metal fabrication shops and Bracknell research and analytical laboratories, with engineering units throughout. We examine and test the extraction on all of it to HSG258.
We examine the hoods, ducting, filter and fan and identify how each is meant to control its process.
We record capture and face velocities, transport velocity and static pressure at every key point.
The readings are assessed against the design intent under HSG258, with a clear verdict on control.
The plant is labelled with the result and next-due date, and you get the report for the COSHH file.
Yes - across the county, from Reading, Windsor and Slough to Maidenhead, Bracknell and Thatcham. Each town has its own page for this service; call 07961 915018 or use the contact form and we will confirm and quote.
Yes. We look after multi-site operators across Berkshire on one schedule - a single survey, one set of certificates and a next-due date per site - so a group with kitchens in several towns keeps its compliance in one place.
Yes. We work overnight, early mornings, weekends and closing days so a Berkshire kitchen or workshop keeps running while we clean, degrease or test.
Yes. Duct and extraction cleaning is certified to TR19 Grease with a photo record, kitchen deep cleans carry a certificate and report for your food hygiene file, and LEV testing is reported and labelled to HSG258.
We have carried out LEV thorough examination and testing to HSG258 since 2001, across Berkshire and the UK. From a machine shop to a joinery, a spray booth or a lab fume cupboard, the job ends the same way: measured readings, a clear verdict, and a label whose next-due date you can rely on.
Tell us your site and we will survey, quote and certify - anywhere in Berkshire.
